Jena Malone

I had a very interesting shoot with actress Jena Malone a few days ago. You may know Jena from her films Donnie Darko, Into the Wild and The Ruins.Jena was a wonderful subject for me. I gave her almost no direction, aside from where to stand. She gave me what can best be described as a performance, with the cobblestone streets of D.U.M.B.O. as her stage. She danced, sang, climbed, jumped, and contorted her body in ways that every frame I shot was completely unique. The photos will run in the fall fashion issue of YRB Magazine. Preview below-
